<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Erik</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last summer I was talking with a local Trimble/HP
sales rep who said that HP now has a line of lower cost large format printers
that do work for CAD/GIS purposes. For GIS shops that don't have high production
needs, they sounded like a good way to go for saving $. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, when I worked at American Wildlands in
Bozeman, MT, they applied for and got a grant for buying a plotter from one of
the large foundations. Then again, AWL had several fulltime GIS people that did
work for many nonprofits. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A quick check of HP's website
shows </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>the Z3200, Z3100. or even the Z2100
would work and come in 44" wide formats. I don't have personal experience with
these models so maybe somebody will post that does.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good luck.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [gis_info] plotter
recommendations</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello all, I'm hoping to get a recommendation for a new
plotter. <BR><BR>Below are the general criteria to consider:<BR>- Printing
from ArcInfo/arcpress 9.2<BR>- Print 36"x44"<BR>- Would likely print once
every 2 or 3 weeks (low volume).<BR>- non profit budget, so high end specs are
nice but more likely looking for something in the lower price ranges. <BR><BR
clear=all><BR>Please respond to me directly, and if I get some decent
responses I'll compile them and send them out to the
list.<BR>Thanks,<BR>Erik<BR><BR>-- <BR>Erik Fernandez<BR>Wilderness
